Isn't family photo time fun? Why yes, yes it is! Enjoy these few snippets from our Sunday afternoon...

week sixteen

Baby Quattro is growing! I'm feeling much MUCH better than I felt a few weeks ago. My "bump" is starting to look like a "belly." All I want to eat is baked potatoes.

hello out there

Hi friends! We drove about an hour north of where we live to Savannah, Georgia yesterday. We embrace any excuse to visit this dazzling little city. We are planning to deliver Baby Quattro at a Birthing Center in Savannah with the cutest little Midwife that we ever did see. We'll be visiting often for my check ups and birth preparations.

We stopped at a hip and cool coffee house before heading back home. The kids sat so still and quiet at the birthing center, so we promised them a huge iced chocolate milk. They totally earned it.

O.K. happy Thursday!

library day

We like to go to the library on Tuesdays. Yesterday we finished school a little early and headed over to art day at our local library. A nice lady read a few books about art and artists then the kids got to make a painting.

The nice lady encouraged the kids to paint an animal with bright colors. Thanks, Dean, for painting a Star Wars battle scene despite the nice lady's suggestions...

We walked down the street and had pizza for lunch then headed back home with our new library books for this week. I love taking my kids to the library.

cleaning up

Finally getting a little bit of energy going around here. One of my goals for 2012 is to keep the laundry clean and get rid of stuff that we don't use or love. So far the laundry is still piled up and the clutter is still everywhere... but I'm slowly making a dent in the mess.

What are your goals for this year?

four crying out loud

Hello! I have a little news to share on this second Wednesday of two thousand and twelve. I'M PREGNANT! That's right, friends! Baby number FOUR is on the way! We are very, very excited about this little/huge addition to our family. Here are four facts about my pregnancy so far...

1. I'm not sure exactly how far along I am... somewhere around 13 to 16 weeks. I'll have an ultrasound at the end of this month to get exact numbers.
2. This is my first time being REALLY super sick during pregnancy.
3. I'm not showing yet, but I haven't done ab ripper x in about 2 weeks so we can just call the "flab" a "bump" until it becomes a real bump... or until i do a sit up and make it go away.
4. We are planning on NOT finding out the gender of the little sweetie until it is birthed. Until then, we will call the baby "Baby Quattro." OK? Now we all know that Baby Quattro is not the baby's real name... it's just what the baby will be called while he/she is in the oven.

Stay tuned for lots of pregnancy blogging!

a little more new year's rockin eve

My family in Mississippi is pretty much wonderful. Here's a little recap of our time there...

Horses. My brother (who just kicked cancer's butt like a ninja) bought some horses. We saw the horses and MeeMaw and PeePaw and sweet cousins. We hugged them and ate candy canes.

Sisters. Oh my sisters. They are my favorite.

And baby Nolan turned one! He was born last New Year's Eve (click HERE to read the story). His party was our last stop before heading back to Georgia. I painted a banner and served as the face paint lady. Nolan is adorable.

Hope you've had a productive start to the new year!
